Single Again…And Ready For A Great Relationship?

Breakthroughs in Loving Behavior Guarantee It.

The divorce rate hovers around 50% and unfortunately second marriages are even more likely to fail. No wonder single and divorced men and women in their 30s, 40s, 50s are more hesitant to enter into committed relationships. The eternal optimism of the 20’s has waned, and singles become hyper-vigilant about the smallest ‘red flag’. Although they now know that ‘no one is perfect’ – it is perfection they want. The reason – they have come to realize that they lack the necessary skills to make relationships in this millennium work.

Many adults who are single, divorced or widowed have a deep desire to have a companion, a soul mate. Most of the pain caused in past relationships can be ascribed to not knowing how to communicate, being critical, not appreciative, and not knowing what your needs are or asking for having your needs met – in a loving manner.

AIM

Relationships require people being aware of what their most important needs are, communicating those needs effectively, and understanding why unconditional behavior is not only possible to give and receive but necessary to loving relationship. They will learn about tools that make these behaviors possible.

METHOD

Making a list of what you need from a relationship – prioritize it – learn it – talk about it – use it to evaluate people you meet. Practice mirroring – and talk in retrospect about conditional behavior – how painful it was. Take home some simple reminders to guide future behavior.

RESULTS

Participants take home a list of their most important needs and an understanding of how this list should be used. They also learn some basic mirroring skills which help them become better listeners and more compassionate communicators. Armed with an understanding about each person’s need to be loved unconditionally, they interact from a more aware perspective and can see their own as well as others’ behavior clearer.
